Budziszewski examines contemporary debates about ethics, culture, and public life. The author discusses topics such as morality, politics, family life, religion, and social values, and considers how individuals can evaluate ideas and arguments in periods of cultural disagreement and rapid social change. Drawing on philosophical traditions and examples from modern society, the book presents reflections on reasoning, moral judgment, and the role of common sense in public discourse.

Answers provide solutions to our problems, teach us about the world, and help us navigate our lives. But we rush toward answers forgetting, that it is questions that set the course. Questions are a form of power, as well as a vital, everyday tool. After all, if you don't ask the right questions, you won't get the right answers. In Q, philosopher Lani Watson examines the history of question-asking, analyzes our answer-oriented present, and offers a path forward toward a question-oriented future. Along the way, she asks us to consider what a question is, why we ask the questions we do, when we first start asking questions, and where we want our questions to take us. The shift from prioritizing answers to focusing on questions is not easy, and it requires careful attention and practice. Q also includes practical tips called Q Tools, inspired by the historical, philosophical, and cultural material of each chapter that offer readers exercises and advice for becoming better question-askers. There are real-world benefits to creating a question-oriented future, and it will require a personal, social, political, philosophical and technological transition. In Q, Lani Watson provides us with the knowledge and tools that we need to implement this change in our own lives and communities.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5570033</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5570033</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Watson, Lani]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5570033147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Hidden Power of Questions in A World That Wants Answers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593830987/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Be A (happy) Skeptic]]></title><description><![CDATA["Throughout history it has always been true that people don't know as much as they think they do. The ancient Greeks and Romans formulated an approach to life based on this notion. They recognized that adjusting our beliefs to the evidence while keeping in mind that we could be mistaken is the path to a just society-and a happy and meaningful life. In How to Be A (Happy) Skeptic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci adopts the ancient Roman public advocate, orator, statesman, and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero as his guide to reveal the benefits of cultivating curiosity and doubt in the pursuit of a life worth living. Cicero's skeptical philosophy is more relevant than ever in our current age of misinformation. Following Cicero's life and works, Pigliucci explores the foundations for a good life, from how to formulate our values to how to nurture friendships; from being a good citizen and fighting for social justice to handling grief, pain, and even death. Skepticism as a philosophy was developed during a time of violence, social upheaval, and political turmoil. Taking a page from Cicero's book, we, too, can adopt a practical philosophy of reason and learn to live well through uncertain times"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5569726</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5569726</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pigliucci, Massimo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5569726147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Power of Doubt in A Meaningful Life--lessons From Cicero&apos;s Philosophy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217179671/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Act of Human Kindness]]></title><description><![CDATA[Kindness is the fabric of our existence, and it drapes the world in so many different colors.

Celebrated author and scholar Jack Parlett digs into the nature of flamboyance to offer a new, empowering reframing of a quality that any of us can and should harness more regularly.

As climate chaos, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice: continue with a system built on extraction and endless growth, or reimagine civilization itself. Incremental policy improvements are no longer enoughwe need a deep transformation of our current civilization to continue to survive. In Ecocivilization, leading thinker Jeremy Lent offers that reimagination, grounded in proven design principles of ecosystems and in humankind's evolved inclination toward justice, mutuality, and dignity. What unfolds is a robust framework incorporating Lents own expertise, and the lived experiences of those on the ground already putting ecological civilizations core tenets into practicejustice, mutuality, diversity, and symbiosis. From the global economy to universal housing and income, from infrastructure to agriculture, every major aspect of our society could be redesigned to work together as a coherent whole, setting the conditions for all people to flourish. Ecocivilization shows how this future on a regenerated Earth is not only desirable, but entirely feasible.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5558222</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5558222</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lent, Jeremy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5558222147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Making A World That Works for All</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781685892333/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Invention of Good and Evil]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this sweeping new history of humanity, told through the prism of our ever-changing moral norms and values, Hanno Sauer shows how modern society is just the latest step in the long evolution of good and evil and everything in between. What makes us moral beings? How do we decide what is good and what is evil? And has it always been that way? Hanno Sauer's sweeping new history of humanity, covering five million years of our universal moral values, comes at a crucial moment of crisis for those values, and helps to explain how they arose--and why we need them. We humans were born to cooperate, but everywhere we find ourselves in conflict. The way we live together has changed fundamentally in recent decades: global mobility, demographic upheaval, migration movements, and digital networking, have all called the moral foundations of human communities into question. Modern societies are in crisis: a shared universal morality seems to be a thing of the past. Hanno Sauer explains why this appearance is deceptive: in fact, there are universal values that all people share. If we understand the origin of our morality, we can understand its future too. With philosophical expertise and empirical data, Sauer explains how processes of biological, cultural, social, and historical evolution shaped the moral grammar that defines our present. Seven chapters recount the crucial moral upheavals of human history showing how the emergence of humankind five million years ago, the rise of first civilizations 5,000 years ago, and the dynamics of moral progress in the last fifty years are interrelated. This genealogical perspective allows us, on the one hand, to see the contradictions and potential conflicts of our moral identities; on the other, it makes clear that we share fundamental values that apply to all human beings at all times. Sauer's elegant prose, translated into English by Jo Heinrich, brings the history of humanity to vivid new life."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5558006</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5558006</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sauer, Hanno]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5558006147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A World History of Morality</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780197790250/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Declutter Without Losing your Mind (or your Socks)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Feeling overwhelmed by clutter?
